Description of Functions DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS Hot air 30-250°C The hot air operating mode can be used for roasting, grilling, baking and gratinating. We recommend that you keep the damper open when roasting products at very high temperatures. It is possible to roast breaded products such as breaded fish and breaded pork chops. For maximum effect, use enamelled cast iron trays / silicone-coated baking sheets and one of the special browning fats available in the shops.
Description of Functions CombiSmart 30-250°C CombiSmart is a function for humidity control which allows you to adjust the humidity level in 10 steps (10-100). Press the damper key and adjust the level by turning the turn knob. Confirm the setting by pressing the damper key again. The control lamp next to the damper key will be on. In this function, the damper is usually closed, however, at the setting 0 the damper opens. Settings 20-50 are recommended for the production of whole roasts.
Description of Functions Manual humidity pulsing When you press the key for STEAMING in the HOT AIR mode, you add humidity to the oven chamber. Humidity is added for as long as the key is held down. Steaming in a C model 30-120°C Can be used for steaming of all types of vegetables, pasta, rice, meat, eggs and the like.
Description of Functions Damper The damper is usually closed in all operating modes. When the control lamp is on, the damper is open. NOTE! In CombiSmart, this key is used for adjusting the humidity level. The damper is always closed in the steaming mode. If you wish to reduce the amount of humidity in the oven chamber – when you brown, for instance – the damper should be open. Fan speed Set the FAN speed by pressing the fan key and turn the knob.

Indicative core temperatures INDICATIVE CORE TEMPERATURES Indicative core temperatures for beef, veal, pork and lamb Subject Temperature Cuts of saddle, tenderloin and ham 60-65°C Roast of saddle, ham 65°C Cuts of meat containing a great deal of connective tissue, such as neck, brisket and shoulder 80°C Paté 75°C Terrine 60°C Foie gras terrine 45°C A rare roast is achieved at a core temperature of 60-62°C A medium-rare roast is achieved at a core temperature of 65-67°C A roast well-done i
Indicative core temperatures Meat containing a great deal of connective tissue, such as shoulder, brisket and neck, needs to be heated for a long time before it is sufficiently tender – for instance, a holding time of 30 – 90 minutes at a core temperature of 65-75°C (then it is ”low-temperature tenderising” – see ”Low-temperature roasting”). For meat prepared for a buffet or for display on a sales counter, the indicative core temperature is above 75°C.
Low-temperature and long-Time roasting LOW-TEMPERATURE AND LONG-TIME ROASTING Indicative bactericidal holding times Long-time roasting Roasting at a temperature between 110 and 150°C. Slow heating produces meat that is uniformly cooked. Low-temperature roasting Can be described as roasting below 100°C, the core temperature of the roast and the oven temperature being almost the same. The advantage of this method of preparation is that the roast is uniformly cooked.
Low-temperature and long-Time roasting Keeping qualities and indicative legal requirements from the Danish Ministry of Health The keeping qualities of heated meat vary a great deal according to the way the meat is packed while stored – from a few days for small cuts of meat to several weeks for sous-vide products.
